The Prague Castle Tour explores the No.1 tourist attraction in Prague. It includes transport to the castle by tram and a guided walking tour of the Prague Castle complex.
The tour runs in small groups (2-12 people) to ensure a sense of local exploration and discovery.
After meeting your guide on the Lesser Town side of Charles Bridge, we take a tram up to the castle. Prague Castle is the largest ancient castle complex in the world. It is set in a commanding position overlooking the city, from where the Kings of Bohemia once ruled.
Prague Castle is an intriguing mix of squares, buildings and fortifications. There are palaces, state apartments, great halls, churches, a monastery, viewing towers, and museums and art galleries.
As we explore the grand squares and winding, cobbled streets, your guide brings all this to life, explaining the turbulent history of the monuments and their inhabitants, and their royal and presidential connections. We see St. Vitus Cathedral, site of the coronation of medieval kings and queens; the Old Royal Palace, with its grand architecture; and, ancient St. George's Basilica, founded in 920 AD, the best-preserved Romanesque church in Prague.
Finally, because Prague Castle sits on a hill, we take in the stunning views over the city.
The tour finishes at Prague Castle.
